Bob Large

There are many Bobs. Bob the Folkie was introduced to the Titirangi Folk Music Club back in 1975 and folk music and the folk scene has been
a huge and satisfying influence on his life ever since. Bob the Singer loves to sing in almost any circumstances: solo, in harmony with others, a
cappella or accompanied and anything from traditional to contemporary songs. He enjoys singing some of Bob the Songwriter’s songs but equally
enjoys singing songs written by friends and others. Bob the Songwriter has written over a hundred songs and some of them are quite singable.
The songs touch on experiences of immigration, apartheid, family, friendship, struggle, travel, nature, sailing and the ups and downs of being
human. Bob the Musician plays a handmade Madill guitar in finger style and adds in a nice harmonica from time to time. Bob the Shantyman
sings with the Maritime Crew and has a love of the sea, which pleases Bob the Sailor.

The Bobs will be in integrated performance at the Beach Hall (which they regard as the “Carnegie Hall” of the NZ folk scene) with some of Bob
the Songwriter’s songs and some of Bob the Singer’s favourites. No doubt they will call on some of their many folkie friends to help fill the stage
at strategic moments. Bob the Entertainer will be there to ensure that you all have a great evening!

The Club was conceived in 1965 when the Clancy Brothers didn't come and someone had the
astounding idea of having a sing-a-round thus transforming an audience into a folk group.
Formally established in 1966 we're still going strong.
